2019 Installation

Freight rack, lattice boxes, slides, fluorescent tubes

230 x 300 x 120 cm

Until 2000, the Justus Liebig University of Giessen employed a specialist to manage the in-house art history library. There, students could view slides, borrow them and put together presentations. In 2019, the slide library was dissolved due to digitisation and lack of space. The installation shows the slides stored in storage shelves, which appear as an unsorted mass after the clearance. Visitors can browse through the approximately 100,000 slides and project individual slides onto the illuminated wall.
